27: Chapter 27 My husband, you will ultimately not escape my grasp.

"No need, Sect Master Liu can handle it," Li Qing shook his head.

"You wicked creature, how dare you!"

Just then, the White-haired Old Woman let out a shout, and she appeared eerily in front of Ning Qianxue, striking her Dantian with a single palm.

"No!"

A shrill, miserable scream from Ning Qianxue echoed through the sky.

【Damn, this screaming, the song 'Snowflakes Drifting' should be playing right now.】

This sound stirred memories hidden deep within Li Qing's mind.

Luo Qiongyan rolled her eyes at Li Qing.

"Bang."

Like a kite with a broken string, Ning Qianxue slammed heavily into the Myriad Herb Garden.

"She is yours to deal with," the White-haired Old Woman nodded at Sect Master Liu, took a step, and vanished into the horizon.

"Respectfully seeing off the Old Ancestor." All the high-ranking members of Incense Burning Immortal Valley bowed in salute.

At this moment, Sect Master Liu's figure flashed, and she appeared before Ning Qianxue.

"Qingqing, don't kill me."

"It's all Li Chunqiu's fault; he threatened me."

"We are best sisters, right?" Ning Qianxue hugged Sect Master Liu's leg, pleading.

"You are right, we are indeed best sisters."

"That is why I will personally send you on your way."

"Swish." A flash of sword light appeared, and Ning Qianxue's fine head soared into the sky.

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully eating melon.】

【Ding, System reward: 50,000 Modification Points. Current balance: 54,000 points.】

【Ding, this melon is a bit sweet, snowflakes are drifting in the heart.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for triggering an additional System reward.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the King Sealing Realm Manifestation: Sunrise in the East.】

【Ding, detected that the Host already possesses a Dao Body Manifestation: Bright Moon Born from the Heavenly Heart.】

【Ding, the Manifestation and the Dao Body Manifestation are beginning to undergo Fusion.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for successful Fusion, obtaining the Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon: Innate Taiji Diagram.】

"Holy crap."

"It actually produced a Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon." Li Qing was completely shocked.

The reason why Dao Bodies are so valued by major powers, and why anyone who possesses one becomes a Saint or Saintess, lies in this Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon.

Only a Prodigy with a Dao Body can achieve Fusion to create a Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon.

This is a more Advanced existence than a Manifestation.

Let's put it this way: Li Qing is currently in the King Sealing Realm, and once the Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon is unleashed, he can fight against mighty figures.

Just tell me if that's badass or what.

If you were to say that the Grand Elder of Incense Burning Immortal Valley could crush Li Qing to death with a single finger before, well, now, heh, try crushing me and see what happens.

If Li Qing reaches the Emperor Sealing Realm, he can fight those at the Sendai level.

This is the terror of a Dao Body.

It seems only the child of destiny has successfully achieved this Fusion, which is why he can constantly fight above his rank like he's cheating, crushing anyone who defies him.

"Brother System, I love you." Li Qing felt wonderful inside.

【Ding, ugh, so disgusting.】

Li Qing: "..."

Fine, I'm in a good mood today, so I can't be bothered to roast this unscrupulous System.

"Husband, what is it that makes you so happy?" Li Qing's beaming expression was naturally noticed by Luo Qiongyan.

"My strength is now enough to crush you; you can no longer stop me." Li Qing looked at Luo Qiongyan with a haughty expression.

【This Young Master has now successfully achieved Fusion for the Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon; didn't expect that, did you?】

【Now, the only person in the entire Incense Burning Immortal Valley who is my opponent is that old woman; everyone else is just an ant.】

"Bye-bye to you then." Li Qing reached out, pinched Luo Qiongyan's nose, laughed loudly, and flew towards the outside of Incense Burning Immortal Valley.

"Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon."

"Husband, you truly are the child of destiny." Luo Qiongyan's small mouth opened slightly, looking very surprised.

Even her original body had never successfully achieved Fusion for the Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon.

"That's right, once the Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon appears, I cannot stop you."

"Are you not even willing to accompany me for seven days?"

"Linglong, you are truly a failure; you can't even hold onto a man's heart." Luo Qiongyan's expression became very dejected, and she instantly turned into a stream of light, heading towards Linglong Peak.

Meanwhile, Li Qing had already arrived near the entrance of the Incense Burning Immortal Valley.

"That's not right, this woman actually didn't try to stop me."

"Is it not good for me to just leave like this?"

"After all, I promised her seven days." Li Qing slowly stopped, a look of hesitation on his face.

"Damn, it really is hardest to accept a beauty's favor."

"I actually went soft-hearted."

"How about I just go?"

"No, no, that's too heartless. You're a man, after all; you have to keep your word to a woman."

"You're not afraid of her now, so it's no big deal to go back and fulfill the promise."

"Once seven days pass, we'll owe each other nothing."

"That's settled." Li Qing ultimately softened and flew towards Linglong Peak.

He didn't even know why he had softened.

At this moment, on Linglong Peak, Luo Qiongyan was stroking the quilt that Li Qing had used, her eyes welling up with crystalline tears.

"Is this the Mortal World Inner Demon Tribulation?"

"So, I don't know when I started to like him."

"You left so cleanly, yet I have to endure this Inner Demon Tribulation; if I cannot break through, I will fall into the path of a devil."

"My original body attained the rank of Emperor, but the slaughter was too great, and the world calls me the Linglong Devil Emperor. If I fall into a devilish state, my original body's Primordial Spirit will not be able to achieve Perfection, and there will be no hope for the Dao of Immortality."

"Is it right or wrong, or is it Karma?"

"My heart hurts so much, I have so many regrets, I am so afraid..."

A faint red light began to appear in Luo Qiongyan's eyes; this was a sign of falling into the path of a devil.

A Clone of a generation of Devil Emperor was actually unable to break through the Mortal World, and was about to fall into the Inner Demon Tribulation.

"Yo, why are you crying? Don't tell me you've actually fallen for me."

At this critical moment, Li Qing's face appeared in Luo Qiongyan's mind. That grinning, rascal-like expression became the light in her heart that broke through the Mortal World.

"Boom." The Mortal World Tribulation dispersed, and the Dao Heart achieved Perfection.

The Mortal World Inner Demon Tribulation that the Linglong Devil Emperor's original body never dared to face had been passed.

"Husband." Luo Qiongyan let out a sharp cry and threw herself into Li Qing's arms, embracing him as if she were embracing the whole world.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you getting handsy? Let go of me!" Li Qing had black lines all over his head.

"I won't."

"Why did you come back?" Luo Qiongyan raised her head, looking at him with teary eyes.

"I suddenly remembered there was a seven-day promise here. A real man keeps his word." Li Qing began to struggle, but he couldn't break free no matter what.

"It's good that you came back."

"Thank goodness you returned."

"You saved me." Luo Qiongyan said softly.

"What do you mean?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment.

【This woman, is she hallucinating or something?】

【Clones are truly unreliable.】

【I should still stay away.】

Luo Qiongyan rolled her eyes at Li Qing.

"There is something I want to tell you." Luo Qiongyan suddenly smiled, looking breathtakingly beautiful.

"What is it?" Li Qing glanced at her sideways.

【Hmph, smiling so beautifully, it definitely isn't anything good.】

【Why do I suddenly have a bad premonition?】

【It feels like the sky is about to collapse.】

"I - like - you." Luo Qiongyan looked at Li Qing openly.

"Boom." Thunder rumbled over Li Qing's head.

【No.】

Snowflakes drifting...

【Oh Heavens, oh Earth, you are a Devil Emperor who looks down upon the Eight Desolations, how is your taste so poor?】

【Ah, ptooey, ptooey, what am I saying?】

【No, how could you possibly fancy me?】

【You're just a Clone; just trying it out should have been enough, why are you taking it for real...】

【Wait, no, Luo Qiongyan took the Nine Nether Soul Returning Pill; after returning to the original body, the Clone will advance into a Yin Spirit and become the new main soul. She is the Linglong Devil Emperor.】

【It's over.】

What, my soul will become a Yin Spirit?

No wonder my soul felt strange.

Husband, thank you for telling me this news. Originally, I was worried that I would forget you after returning to the original body, but now I can't wait to go back.

Husband, you cannot escape from the palm of my hand in the end.
